On the recordJune 8, 2000

I rise to announce my intent to vote for this bill and to thank the chairman for including report language encouraging the National Institutes of Health to fund appropriate research to further explore the findings of Dr. Wakefield at the Royal Free Hospital in London on the safety and possible side effects of the MMR vaccine. As a physician myself, I consider maintaining the safety and public confidence in our vaccine program to be of vital importance to the health of America's children; and I applaud the chairman, the gentleman from Illinois (Mr. Porter), for his interest in this area. I am looking forward to working with him in the months ahead on this issue, and I too congratulate him on his years of service to his constituents and this body.
